An entire South End brownstone. Newly reimagined, move-in ready & yours to define. A truly distinctive opportunity to acquire an entire, newly renovated bow-front brownstone on one of the South End’s most coveted tree-lined streets. Thoughtfully transformed to near-new construction standards, the property brings together timeless architecture, elevated contemporary design & exceptional flexibility within one complete building. Comprised of two meticulously designed residences, a penthouse triplex & garden duplex, the offering can be enjoyed exactly as it is today or reimagined for years to come. Live in one residence while generating income from the other, create a private arrangement for extended family, guests, or an au pair, or combine both homes into a substantial single-family residence, with conversion plans available for review. Few South End properties offer this level of immediate livability alongside such compelling long-term flexibility. The approximately 2,518 SF penthouse triplex offers 3+ beds & 3.5 baths, soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, custom millwork, gas fireplaces, a beautifully integrated designer kitchen & generous spaces for living & entertaining. A private balcony extends from the kitchen, while the upper levels culminate in an expansive private roof deck with Boston skyline views, built-in grill, integrated sound & fire pit. The approximately 1,802 SF garden duplex offers 2 beds & 2.5 baths across two thoughtfully designed levels. Generous living & dining spaces, a gas fireplace, custom cabinetry, integrated storage & refined finishes create a warm, tailored interior, while the living space opens directly to a substantial private patio for seamless indoor-outdoor living. Together, the residences offer approximately 4,320 SF of beautifully finished interior space, two distinct private outdoor spaces & 2 direct-access parking spaces. Moments from acclaimed restaurants, cafés, parks, SoWa, boutiques, galleries & premier private schools, this is a rare opportunity to own an entire turnkey South End building, the income potential of a multi-family, the privacy of two distinct residences & the possibility of one remarkable single-family home.
Estimates — not financial advice
These figures are illustrative estimates for informational purposes only — not an appraisal, valuation, or guarantee of rent, income, or returns, and not financial, tax, or investment advice. Rent is either the figure reported on the MLS listing — in-place rent that may differ from market and is not verified against the actual leases — or, where the listing reports none, an estimate from HUD Small Area Fair Market Rents, a government benchmark that may differ from actual market rent. Each figure is labelled with its source. Cap rate, NOI, and returns depend on the assumptions shown, which you can change. MLS and other third-party data may be inaccurate or out of date. Verify all figures independently and consult your own financial, tax, and legal advisors before making any investment decision.
